QOTD: "Let’s be very, very clear: the Founding Fathers would have been appalled by the 2013 ordinance [banning semiautomatic assault weapons and magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition] passed by Highland Park, and if the Founders were alive today, there is a good chance that Highland Park’s leaders would have been roughly pulled from their homes and tarred and feathered in disgrace before their homes were burned to ash. Men like Jefferson and Adams were patriots who had just won a long and costly war that was triggered by a gun control raid on April 19, 1775 in the towns of Lexington and Concord, and did not suffer fools.

Unfortunately, the Robert’s court is feckless and craven. They passed on hearing the case because they know that if they took it up, they must overturn it. Once they overturned it, the precedent would once and for all gut the basis of all assault weapons bans on any level of government, henceforth." --Bob Owens
